The smiley piercing is placed through the frenulum, the small tissue connecting the upper lip to the gums. It’s often discreet, typically hiding when the mouth is closed but becoming visible when the wearer smiles. This playful and unique piercing can add a fun twist to a casual look, enhancing personal expression without being overly prominent. This piercing is very likely to reject with time and is generally not considered a permanent piercing.
Healing jewellery: Ring or circular barbell (”horseshoe”)
Healing time: 4-6 weeks
Pain level: 2/10
Age limit: 15+
*All oral piercings can potentially cause damage to teeth and gums. The jewellery can chip or crack teeth, cause gum recession, and lead to dental decay.
